following editorial remarks, which
point to the high license bill as the
natural solution Of this knotty ques.
ton
If the provisions of the law
clearly define the qualifications Of appli-
cants, there is nothing left for judges to de
eide, and why lodge I'M apparent power in
the Courts that lacks the attributes of prar-
teal authority? As the law coutrrs dis
cretionary power upon the tribunal that is
to grant or refuse licenses, the Judges are
the last officials who should I've thought of
to exercise such discretion.
The present license law confrrs upon the
courts outside of this city, the power 10
grant or refuse licenses under certain pre-
Sumcd limitations, and how have the Judges
exercised that powcr2 Hardly amy two of
them have construed their judicial tnScrt-
tnn alike and judicial interpretations ot
the law range from absolute prohibition To-
practically free license. And the reasons
for such startling Variations in the exercise
of judicial duties under the same law. are

GENERAL Wagner, the examiner
and inspector of Soldiers Orphans
Schools, has forwarded his annual re-
port to Governor Beaver and handed
in his resignation. He says that the
schools are under the same inefficient,
incomplete and illegal form of man
agement as when the Investigations
were first begun, and recommends as
the only remedy the appointment of
an inspector who is paid q salary
which will justify him to deyote his
whole time to the work of inspection,
o man of push and energy.

REGARDING the Grit libel suit which
was tried, in fashion, at last weeks
court, we and many others were sur
prised at the severity of Judge Furst's
sentence. Not that we admire the
sensational Sunday papers or are any
ways in sympathy with the Sunday
Grit. but $1,000 fine and 6 months
Imprisonment in the county Jail is
rather stiff punishment for the first of
tense of the kind and under such cir
cumstances. True, papers like the
Williamsport Grit, that delight in
sending out through their columns
some of the most unsavory and scan
dalizing news, should be learned a
lesson, but there is some difference be-
tween chastising man and breaking
his neck. In fact there should be a
limit even in Justice. From all CLEAN
can we both the editor and manager
fthe paper are otherwise respectable
young men, of good families, and pos
sess an unusual amount of grit and
push in business. Their journalistic
failings, no doubt, are the result of
their un controllable desire to furnish
very spicy and sensational literature.
What is most remarkable about the
case is that the matter was dispatched
In such very short order, the defend
ants having been arrested on Saturday
week, and were sentenced on the fol-
lowing Tuesday.

was pinned fast on the seat IN the e;.-
CINE cab ard scalded to death Ly csc p
ing steam. lie lived about an hour in
this position. The engine had to be
p7ed apart with iron bars before his
body could be extricated. He was II
years old and unmarried. Charles A.
McAfep, a fireman, saw the coal train
coming and tlied to jump, but one leg
vas caught between the engine and tie
water-tank and pinched off above the
knee, dropping McAfee to the embauk-
ment from whence II e crawled fifty feet.
Amputatiun was performed, but it is
doubtful if he can live. Samuel Eft ing
ham, the freight train engineer, was in
jured internally, but it is thought not
seriously. Both locomotives are COM
pletely wrecked and fully twenty coal
and freight cars. The damage to rail
road property is estimated at $4,000.
The cause of the accident is laid 10 the
dspatcher's Office here, orders having
been sent to hold the coal train at East
Mahanoy junction after it had passed
that roint, and therefore too late. An
engine was sent out from here to catch
the freight train and stop it, but that
was too late also.
